Enjoy tropical and scenic Hana town to its fullest in our Hana vacation rentals. Set at the eastern tip of the island of Maui, Hana is a small town in a lush and tropical area known for its abundant waterfalls and many scenic beaches.

Things To Do
Hana's three main beaches are Hamoa, Koki and Hana Bay, all providing very picturesque settings. The lovely Hamoa Beach was called the Pacific's best beach by author James Michener. A less visited treasure in this area is Kaihalulu Beach, also known as Red Sand Beach due to the nearby volcanic cinder cone which created the deep, red hues of this shoreline. Just past Hana town is the rugged Kipahulu area and Oheo Gulch where you can swim in streams and hike through a bamboo forest to see gorgeous waterfalls cascading down the mountain.

The drive out to Hana is also adventurous along a scenic coastal route with many one lane bridges and plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the spectacular scenery. The distance from Kahului to Maui is 52 miles and can easily take more than 3 hours if you are stopping along the way to enjoy the views.

Other Hana places of interest include botanical gardens, cultural sites and historic churches. Check out the Hana Cultural Center and Museum near Hana Bay where you can learn about the region's rich cultural heritage.

Eat and Shop
Shopping is limited in Hana though you can find pretty much everything you need at Hasegawa's General Store which still retains the look of the classic old-time general store (which it is). You can also find some essentials at the Hana Ranch Store.

Keep an eye out for the occasional roadside stand selling produce or fresh caught fish as this is often a great way to get some of the freshest ahi (tuna) and other high quality fish and fresh fruits and vegetables at very affordable prices.

For fine dining try Travaasa Hana (formerly known as Hotel Hana-Maui) which serves up what they call Hana Fusion cuisine emphasizing local ingredients as well as Old World European and Asian elements with a Polynesian flare. They also specialize in gourmet vegetarian dishes and make everything from scratch. Among the delicacies served up at Travaasa Hana are such dishes as Taro Fish smoked with mango wood, and Lilikoi Mahi with ginger lime coconut sauce and Hawaiian sweet potato.

Getting Around
A rental car is recommended when staying in Hana vacation rentals so you can enjoy the region's exceptional beaches, waterfalls, swimming holes as well as historical sites and other attractions from Waianapanapa to Kipahulu.
